In the video, Command Performance can be seen breaking from the inside post position but quickly losing its footing and tumbling to the ground. The jockey, Frankie Dettori, was thrown forward but fortunately landed safely.
Despite the dramatic fall, both the horse and jockey were able to recover and walk off the track. Command Performance was withdrawn from the race due to the incident.
